Placing global stream flow variability in geographic and geomorphic contextsRiver Research and Applications - Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 149-166 - 2006
N. LeRoy Poff, Julian D. Olden, David M. Pepin, Brian P. Bledsoe
AbstractThe importance of hydrologic variability in sustaining natural riverine ecosystems is now well accepted. Over the last 15 years or so, many typologies and assessment tools have been developed to assist ecologists and managers in describing natural flow regimes in quantitative terms. In the course of this recent progress, however, some critical questions hav...... hiện toàn bộ
Redundancy and the choice of hydrologic indices for characterizing streamflow regimesRiver Research and Applications - Tập 19 Số 2 - Trang 101-121 - 2003
Julian D. Olden, N. LeRoy Poff
AbstractThe utility of hydrologic indices for describing various aspects of streamflow regimes has resulted in their increased application in riverine research. Consequently, researchers are now confronted with the task of having to choose among a large number of competing hydrologic indices to reduce computational effort and variable redundancy prior to statistica...... hiện toàn bộ
Channel forms and vegetation adjustment to damming in a Mediterranean gravel‐bed river (Serpis River, Spain)River Research and Applications - Tập 35 Số 1 - Trang 37-47 - 2019
Carles Sanchís Ibor, Francisca S. Segura Beltrán, Angel Navarro‐Gómez
AbstractThis paper focuses on the analysis of changes observed in channel morphology in the Serpis River (Alicante, Spain), a gravel‐bed river dammed since 1958. The paper analyses flow series and several aerial images, prior and subsequent to dam construction, to analyse changes in channel morphology and vegetation colonisation using Geographical Information Syste...... hiện toàn bộ
Hydrogeomorphic processes affecting riparian habitat within alluvial channel–floodplain river systems: a review for the temperate zoneRiver Research and Applications - Tập 21 Số 7 - Trang 719-737 - 2005
Johannes Steiger, Éric Tabacchi, Simon Dufour, Dov Jean-François Corenblit, Jean‐Luc Peiry
AbstractHydrogeomorphic processes within alluvial river systems create, maintain and degrade riparian habitat. The dynamic interactions between water, sediment, aquatic–terrestrial landforms and biotic elements control the functional processes and biodiversity patterns within the riparian zone and, thus, contribute directly to their ecological integrity and societa...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of the effects of cyclic floodplain rejuvenation on flood levels and biodiversity along the Rhine RiverRiver Research and Applications - Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 285-297 - 2004
Martin J. Baptist, Ellis Penning, H. Duel, Antonius J.M. Smits, Gertjan Geerling, Guda E.M. van der Lee, Jos S. L. Van Alphen
AbstractTo reduce flood risks in the Netherlands, measures to increase the flood conveyance capacity of the Rhine River will be implemented. These measures will provide more room for the river and include lowering of the floodplains and excavation of secondary channels. Moreover, these measures provide opportunities for ecological rehabilitation of the floodplains....... hiện toàn bộ
Salmonid observations at a Klamath River thermal refuge under various hydrological and meteorological conditionsRiver Research and Applications - Tập 23 Số 7 - Trang 775-785 - 2007
Ronald J. Sutton, Michael L. Deas, Stacy K. Tanaka, Toz Soto, R. Alex Corum
AbstractThe Beaver Creek confluence with the main‐stem Klamath River was studied to assess salmonid use in a thermal mixing zone under various summer hydrological and meteorological conditions. Main‐stem flow releases from Iron Gate Dam ranged from 17 cms (615 cfs) to 37 cms (1320 cfs) during the study period and main‐stem water temperatures ranged from 19.5 to 26°...... hiện toàn bộ
Toledo Bend reservoir and geomorphic response in the lower Sabine RiverRiver Research and Applications - Tập 19 Số 2 - Trang 137-159 - 2003
Jonathan D. Phillips
AbstractDownstream geomorphic responses of stream channels to dams are complex, variable, and difficult to predict, apparently because the effects of local geological, hydrological, and operational details confound and complicate efforts to apply models and generalizations to individual streams. This sort of complex geomorphic response characterizes the Sabine Rive...... hiện toàn bộ
Abiotic factors controlling the seasonal and spatial patterns of phytoplankton community in the Tigris River, TurkeyRiver Research and Applications - Tập 34 Số 1 - Trang 13-23 - 2018
Memet Varol, Bülent Şen
AbstractIn this study, the seasonal and spatial dynamics of the phytoplankton community in the Tigris River (Turkey) and the relationships with environmental factors were analysed. Bacillariophyta were the most important taxonomic group both in terms of abundance and species number. Phytoplankton abundance increased from winter to autumn associated with a decline i...... hiện toàn bộ
Developing winter flow rating relationships using slope‐area hydraulicsRiver Research and Applications - Tập 27 Số 9 - Trang 1076-1089 - 2011
Spyros Beltaos
AbstractDespite recent advances in instrumentation and modelling methods, accurate determination of river discharge under an ice cover still requires direct measurement. Published flows at hydrometric gauging stations are based on interpolation between a few measurements that are carried out during each winter. The feasibility of using slope‐area hydraulics to deve...... hiện toàn bộ
